Forum for Industrial CAPE Applications and Needs
Finding groundbreaking and innovative areas of CAPE research

Industrial practitioners from a variety of industrial sectors, such as pulp
& paper, food & drink, waste & water treatment, bioprocessing, fine
chemicals and pharmaceuticals, will be invited to describe critical
questions and fundamental problems with which their process engineers are
faced. They will thereby challenge the CAPE research community to work with
these industries to identify and embark upon challenging new research areas
within CAPE and CAPE-related technologies. These challenges may address the
entire chain of scope definition, finding technical solutions, integrative
and critical organisational/managerial aspects and implementation issues.

The Forum will comprise a number of short summary presentations outlining
the key features of problems and challenges to which solutions are urgently
required. In open and informal discussion, reactions and responses
(possibly also in the form of short presentations) will be invited from the
audience to each of these problem areas and the CAPE community will be
challenged to identify and explore potential new areas of research and
deliver solutions.

To facilitate the preparation of these responses, brief problem statements
will be available in advance on the Escape-12 website. Anyone who wishes to
make a short presentation of either additional challenges or in response
will be invited to submit their comments to Paulien Herder
(p.m.herder@tbm.tudelft.nl),
so that the organisers can ensure balance and variety in the discussions.

"To achieve a considerably better combination of stability and flexibility through systematic optimization of process dynamics in the paper and pulp industry""Management of the supply chain as a dynamic system in the paper and pulp industry"

"Develop a batch recipe control system suitable for many different products and many processing steps, which enhances reproducability, reliability, traceability, and safety, and is easy to maintain and adapt to new recipes or new processing steps."
